ModPlus is a modular product and one of its main features is independent updating of components and plugins. But this feature has a negative effect - it is difficult to understand whether the installed version of ModPlus is up-to-date. The "Components" option is present in the auto update module, which allows you to check the relevance of components, but it is obviously not enough.

There is another negative effect - when using the installer, the version of the installer itself is added to the list of installed applications. That is, one user may have version 15.0 and another 31.0, but they will both have the current version of ModPlus.

That's why from now on we introduce the concept of General version. General version is an accumulative version of all major components and plugins. To get the General version we add up all versions of all plugins and add to them the versions of the main components - Configurator, auto update module, working libraries, product database and dwg database. This approach allows us to get both the current (local) General version and the available General version.

Today we released an update to the main components with support for General version - Installer, Configurator and auto update module. When installing updates, the auto update module will now also set the current General version in the list of installed applications.

The offline installer will not support the General version at this time for technical reasons. Its version, as before, will be built by build date.

Because of the addition of the General version, we have removed the "don't remind" option for new plugins from the Configurator and auto update module. All plugins must be installed for the version to be correct.

On the website, the General Version is displayed on the Download and Change story pages.

We are glad to present you an update of working libraries for Revit with small but important changes.

In the elements filter by parameters you can now specify special parameters - ID, TypeID, Group, Assembly. Specifying ID and TypeID will take the instance ID or type ID from the element. Group and Assembly allow you to check whether elements belong to groups or assemblies. In this case, you can both check elements by the names of their parent groups or assemblies, and simply belonging of elements to groups or assemblies:

We have also redesigned the mechanism of built-in commands - now they are added not to the standard panels, but to a separate panel called ModPlus:

And we have added two new built-in commands:

Select rebars - enables you to select the Rebars included in the selected Structural Area Reinforcement or Structural Path Reinforcement.

Select Host - enables you to select an elements that is the Host for the selected elements.

INTRODUCING A NEW PLUGIN FOR REVIT - PARAMETERS!

This plugin is a collection of various tools used to create or edit parameters in projects and families!

The plugin currently contains the following tools:

• Batch creation of parameters in the current project
• Batch creation of parameters in project families, open families or families on disk
• Analog of the standard parameter editor of the current family, allowing you to use an alternative formula editor
• Batch editing of parameters in the current project
• Batch editing of parameters in project families, open families or families on disk

And we are sure that the plugin will be filled with new tools! It all depends on your feedback!

Enjoy working with ModPlus!

Not so long ago we presented built-in commands - small commands that are embedded into standard editing panels. And today we are glad to present you new built-in commands, made by requests from our users:

• Select elements - enables you to select the elements included in the selected Beam Systems.
• Select components - enables you to select the components included in the selected Families.
• Set to view - enables you to set the Work Plane of the current element as the Work Plane of the current 3D View. Currently only works for families.

We have also improved the algorithm of selecting elements in groups and now it works recursively - i.e. if a group contains nested groups, the elements of the nested groups will be selected as well.

Enjoy your work with ModPlus!
